Schematic Design During the schematic design phase, several unique solutions are developed based upon the requirements established during programming. Accurate hand-drawn floor plans, elevations, sketches, and models, are used to explore potential solutions for the project on its site.

Responsibilities/Deliverables     By architect:     · develop schemes exploring several solutions for the       project including:     · a site plan showing the proposed house on the site     · plans of all levels drawn freehand to scale     · elevations of primary facades     · 1/16" concept models     By owner:     · attend schematic design meeting and respond to plans,       elevations and models     · give clear direction regarding likes and dislikes to move       forward to schematic resolution     · interview and select builder     · send copy of the resolved schematic design to the       builder for initial cost estimates Phase Completion     · verbal approval of schematic resolution and approval to       move forward into design development phase     · decision regarding level of architectural services and       signed percentage contract   <<previous - next>>
